Results are available at 10am

Leaving certificate students will get their results at 10am this morning.

The State Examinations Commission portal opens at that time with some able to also collect results in person at school.

The Irish Examiner reports that more than one third of this year's grades have been bumped up, citing pandemic-era marking adjustments are due to be phased out completely from 2028.

The number of students receiving top grades has dropped this year for both higher and ordinary level students.

The State Examinations Commission says 10.1 per cent of students received a H1 grade this year, compared with 11.7 per cent last year.

Ordinary level grades also dropped, with just 2.7 per cent of people receiving a top mark.

In less than a week, the CAO will start issuing round one offers to those who have applied.
